1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
9 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
12 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
16 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
17 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
19 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
20 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
25 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
26 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
27 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
28 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
29 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
32 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
34 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
35 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
36 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
39 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
40 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
47 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
48 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
50 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
54 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
55 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
56 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
58 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
62 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
63 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
64 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
66 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
67 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
70 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
71 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
74 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
75 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
76 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
78 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
79 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
84 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
85 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
86 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
89 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
90 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
92 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
93 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
95 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
96 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
97 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
100 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
101 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
102 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
105 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
106 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
107 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
108 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
111 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
114 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
115 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
116 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
118 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
122 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
123 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
124 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
126 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
127 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
128 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
131 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
132 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
133 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
135 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
136 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
137 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
139 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
140 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
144 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
145 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
146 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
148 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
149 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
150 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
151 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
153 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
158 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
159 value is a reference.
161 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
162 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
164 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
168 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
169 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
170 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
172 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
176 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
177 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
182 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
183 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
186 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
187 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
189 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
193 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
195 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
199 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
201 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
202 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
207 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
208 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
210 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
211 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
212 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
213 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
214 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
217 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
218 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
219 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
221 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
225 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
226 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
231 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
233 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
235 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
240 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
242 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
246 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
247 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
248 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
250 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
251 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
252 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
253 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
255 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
256 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
257 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
258 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
259 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
262 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
267 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
268 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
269 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
270 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
271 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
274 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
278 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
281 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
282 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
286 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
287 function (not just method). (doy)
291 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
292 and aren't easily installable/testable.
294 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
298 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
299 to be overridden more easily (doy).
301 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
305 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
306 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
308 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
312 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
313 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
314 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
316 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
320 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
321 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
322 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
324 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
325 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
329 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
330 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
332 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
333 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
337 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
338 is applied to a class (t0m).
340 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
341 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
343 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
346 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
347 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
349 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
350 be much more robust. (doy)
352 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
354 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
357 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
361 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
362 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
364 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
368 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
369 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
371 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
374 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
375 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
376 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
378 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
379 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
380 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
383 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
385 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
389 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
390 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
394 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
396 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
401 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
405 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
406 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
410 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
412 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
416 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
417 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
421 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
422 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
426 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
427 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
429 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
433 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
434 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
435 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
438 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
442 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
443 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
444 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
445 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
447 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
451 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
452 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
453 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
457 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
460 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
465 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
466 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
470 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
471 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
473 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
474 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
475 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
476 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
478 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
482 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
486 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
487 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
489 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
490 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
491 - Moose::Util::does_role
492 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
493 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
494 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
496 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
500 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
501 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
502 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
505 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
509 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
510 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
513 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
517 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
518 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
521 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
525 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
527 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
528 class. (Dave Rolsky).
530 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
531 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
532 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
535 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
536 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
539 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
540 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
542 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
543 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
544 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
546 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
548 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
549 substr et al, again. (sorear)
551 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
553 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
556 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
557 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
559 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
560 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
562 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
563 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
564 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
565 dependencies installed.
567 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
568 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
571 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
573 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
577 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
580 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
581 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
584 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
585 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
587 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
588 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
591 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
592 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
593 others. (nothingmuch)
595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
596 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
597 remove_accessors. (doy)
599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
600 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
601 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
604 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
606 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
608 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
609 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
612 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
613 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
616 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
618 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
620 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
621 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
625 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
626 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
627 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
628 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
630 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
633 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
634 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
635 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
636 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
639 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
640 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
641 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
642 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
643 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
645 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
646 which were not receiving the value of
647 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
648 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
649 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
650 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
654 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
655 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
656 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
657 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
658 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
662 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
663 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
664 - added tests for this (Stevan)
667 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
668 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
669 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
672 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
674 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
677 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
678 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
681 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
682 class if you pass it options for
683 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
684 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
685 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
686 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
687 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
688 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
689 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
690 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
691 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
693 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
694 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
695 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
696 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
697 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
700 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
702 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
703 existing delegation API. (hdp)
705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
706 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
707 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
708 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
709 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
710 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
713 * Moose::Error::Croak
714 * Moose::Error::Confess
715 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
716 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
719 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
722 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
723 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
724 installing a broken sub. (doy)
727 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
730 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
731 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
732 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
734 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
736 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
737 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
738 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
741 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
744 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
746 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
747 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
750 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
751 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
755 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
756 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
759 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
760 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
761 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
762 using it for new code!
764 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
765 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
766 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
767 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
769 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
770 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
771 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
772 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
773 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
774 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
775 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
776 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
779 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
782 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
783 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
787 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
790 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
791 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
795 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
796 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
799 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
800 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
803 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
804 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
807 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
809 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
810 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
811 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
812 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
814 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
816 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
820 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
821 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
823 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
824 associated_methods. (hdp)
825 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
826 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
827 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
828 misspelled) arguments
830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
831 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
832 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
833 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
837 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
839 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
843 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
844 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
847 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
848 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
850 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
852 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
853 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
855 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
856 * Moose::Manual::Types
857 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
858 string parsing rathole (mst)
860 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
861 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
862 using plain objects instead
864 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
865 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
868 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
870 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
871 three times today (perigrin)
872 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
873 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
875 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
876 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
877 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
878 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
881 - A role's required methods are now represented by
882 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
883 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
884 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
885 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
886 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
889 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
890 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
891 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
892 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
895 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
897 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
900 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
902 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
905 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
906 during global destruction. This method has been made more
907 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
911 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
912 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
915 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
916 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
918 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
919 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
920 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
923 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
925 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
926 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
929 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
933 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
934 methods during global destruction (doy)
937 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
938 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
942 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
943 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
946 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
947 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
950 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
951 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
953 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
955 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
959 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
960 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
961 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
964 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
965 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
966 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
969 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
971 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
973 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
977 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
978 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
979 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
982 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
983 of the Moose core (Sartak)
986 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
989 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
990 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
991 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
995 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
996 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
999 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1001 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1003 * Moose::Meta::Class
1004 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1005 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1008 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1009 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1012 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1013 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1016 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1019 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1022 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1025 * Moose::Meta::Class
1026 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1029 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1032 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1033 * More deprecations and renamings
1034 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1035 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1036 when an object is constructed)
1039 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1040 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1041 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1044 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1045 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1046 feature, and it works again.
1049 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1051 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1053 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1054 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1055 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1058 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1059 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1060 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1061 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1064 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1065 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1066 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1067 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1070 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1071 metaclass object. (hdp)
1073 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1074 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1075 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1077 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1078 point out this fact. (hdp)
1080 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1081 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1084 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1086 * Moose::Meta::Class
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1088 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1089 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1090 called during instance construction were passed the
1091 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1092 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1094 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1095 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1099 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1100 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1103 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1104 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1105 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1106 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1107 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1109 - Moose::Meta::Class
1110 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1112 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1113 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1114 when an object is constructed)
1115 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1117 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1118 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1119 when an object is constructed)
1120 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1121 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1122 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1125 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1127 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1128 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1130 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1132 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1133 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1134 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1136 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1137 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1138 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1140 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1143 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1145 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1146 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1150 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1153 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1154 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1155 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1158 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1162 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1163 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1164 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1167 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1170 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1171 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1172 with recommended workarounds.
1174 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1175 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1178 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1179 (yes, spelled like that).
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1182 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1184 * Moose::Meta::Class
1185 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1186 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1188 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1191 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1192 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1193 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1194 instead. Reported by doy.
1196 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1198 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1199 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1202 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1203 message) is now deprecated.
1204 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1205 often got it wrong. For example:
1207 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1209 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1213 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1214 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1215 bite you in weird cases.
1217 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1218 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1219 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1220 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1223 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1227 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1230 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1231 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1235 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1238 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1241 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1243 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1244 - added tests for this (stevan)
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1247 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1248 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1249 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1253 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1254 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1255 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1256 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1258 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1259 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1260 - added tests for this (rafl)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1264 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1265 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1269 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1270 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1274 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1275 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1279 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1280 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1283 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1284 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1285 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1286 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1289 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1290 error message did not specify the attribute name
1293 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1295 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1297 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1298 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1299 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1302 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1305 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1307 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1308 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1309 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1310 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1312 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1314 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1315 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1316 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1317 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1320 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1321 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1324 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1325 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1326 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1327 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1330 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1331 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1332 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1333 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1336 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1337 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1338 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1339 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1340 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1342 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1343 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1344 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1345 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1346 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1347 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1350 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1352 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1353 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1354 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1355 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1361 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1365 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1366 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1369 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1370 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1371 guts. (nothingmuch).
1373 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1375 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1378 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1379 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1380 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Class
1383 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1386 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1387 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1390 * Moose::Unsweetened
1391 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1394 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1395 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1396 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1397 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1398 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1399 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1402 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1403 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1404 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1405 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1406 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1407 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1408 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1409 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1410 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1414 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1415 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1419 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1420 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1424 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1425 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1426 same methods for a single role did not work
1427 right (worked just fine with multiple
1429 - added test for this (stevan)
1431 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1432 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1433 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1436 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1437 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1438 - added test for this (t0m)
1441 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1442 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1443 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1446 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1447 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1448 - added test for this (t0m)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1451 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1452 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1453 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1454 - added test for this (perigrin)
1457 - create method for constructing a role
1458 dynamically (Sartak)
1459 - added test for this (Sartak)
1460 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1461 - added test for this (Sartak)
1464 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1467 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1468 methods is useful (Sartak)
1470 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1472 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1475 * Moose::Meta::Class
1476 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1477 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1478 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1479 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1480 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1484 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1485 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1489 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1490 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1491 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1493 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1495 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1496 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1497 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1500 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1501 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1502 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1503 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1504 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1505 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1509 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1510 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1511 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1512 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1513 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1514 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1515 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1516 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1517 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1518 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1521 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1525 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1526 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1527 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1528 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1530 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1532 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1533 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1534 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1537 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1540 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1541 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1542 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1545 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1546 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1548 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1550 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1551 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Class
1554 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1555 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1556 a required attribute
1558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1560 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1561 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1564 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1567 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1568 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1569 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1570 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1571 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1572 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1573 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1576 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1577 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1579 * Roles and role application
1580 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1581 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1582 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1583 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1584 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1586 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1587 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1591 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1592 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1593 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1594 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1597 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1598 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1599 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1600 changes in the Moose internals.
1602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1604 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1608 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1609 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1610 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1613 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1614 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1615 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1619 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1620 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1621 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1622 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1623 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1624 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1625 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1626 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1627 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1628 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1629 constraint implementations.
1631 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1635 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1636 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1637 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1638 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1639 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1640 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1641 - added tests for this (rafl)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Class
1644 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1645 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1646 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1647 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1648 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1649 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1650 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1654 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1655 - added tests for this (thepler)
1657 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1658 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1659 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1660 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1663 * Moose::Meta::Class
1664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1665 * Moose::Meta::Method
1668 * Moose::Error::Default
1669 * Moose::Error::Croak
1670 * Moose::Error::Confess
1671 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1672 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1673 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1674 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1675 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1676 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1678 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1680 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1681 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1683 * Moose::Unsweetened
1684 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1685 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1686 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1689 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1690 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1691 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1692 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1695 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1696 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1698 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1699 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1700 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1701 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1704 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1706 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1707 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1709 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1712 - Various bug fixes.
1714 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1715 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1717 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1719 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1720 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1722 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1723 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1724 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1727 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1728 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1732 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1735 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1736 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1737 dependency to 0.64_07.
1739 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1740 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1741 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1744 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1747 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1748 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1749 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1750 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1751 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1752 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1755 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1757 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1760 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1764 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1765 method when that method was provided by another role being
1766 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1767 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1769 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1771 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1772 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1775 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1776 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1777 - added test for this (t0m)
1779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1780 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1781 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1783 - added test for this (t0m)
1786 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1787 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1788 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1792 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1794 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1796 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1797 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1800 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1801 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1804 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1809 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1810 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1814 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1815 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1816 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1819 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1820 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1821 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1822 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1825 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1829 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1830 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1831 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1833 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1836 created so that the process can be more easily
1837 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1839 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1840 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1841 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1842 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1848 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1849 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1852 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1853 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1856 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1857 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1860 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1862 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1863 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1866 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1867 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1871 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1872 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1874 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1875 ... this is not my day today ...
1877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1878 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1879 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1880 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1881 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1884 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1885 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1886 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1887 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1888 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1891 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1893 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1894 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1895 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1896 this is not ever something you want to do
1897 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1898 - added tests for this (stevan)
1901 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1903 - added test for this
1905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1906 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1907 - added tests for this (wreis)
1909 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1910 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1911 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1912 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1914 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1915 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1916 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1919 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1921 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1923 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1926 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1927 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1928 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1929 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1930 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1931 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1932 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1933 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 - added tests for this
1936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1937 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1938 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1939 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1941 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1944 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1945 - added tests for this (sartak)
1946 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1947 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1950 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1952 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1953 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1957 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1958 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1960 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1962 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1963 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1966 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1967 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1968 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1971 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1972 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1974 - added docs for this (TODO).
1975 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1976 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1977 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1978 - fix builder and default both being used
1983 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1985 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1986 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1987 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1991 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1995 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1996 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1997 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2000 - move the ClassName type check code to
2001 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2003 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2004 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2006 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2007 (early morning release engineering)--
2009 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2010 which was causing the indexer to choke
2012 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2013 (late night release engineering)--
2015 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2016 changes in this release
2018 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2019 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2020 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2022 * Moose::Meta::Class
2023 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2024 since it is called so often by &meta
2026 * Moose::Meta::Class
2028 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2029 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2033 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2034 method for immutablization to check if the
2035 destructor object even needs to be created
2038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2039 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2040 - added more descriptive error message to help
2041 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2042 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2044 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2046 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2047 XS based functionality is now optional
2048 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2049 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2050 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2052 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2053 to take care of this, mostly we added
2054 support for the package_name and name

2061 is currently not supported in roles,
2062 but, ... patches welcome

2064 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2065 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2069 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2070 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2124 ->body when looping through the
2125 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2127 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2128 eating the $@ values, and so not
2129 working correctly, it still kind of
2130 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

2153 drink more coffee before
2154 doing release engineering
2156 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2271 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2273 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2274 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2317 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2318 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2610 - fixed how required methods are handled
2611 when they encounter overriden or modified
2612 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2613 - added tests for this
2615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2616 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2617 the | always creates a union and so is
2618 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2619 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2621 - added more tests for this
2623 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2626 * Parameterized Types
2627 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2628 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2629 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2630 They can also be nested:
2631 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2632 And work with the type unions as well:
2633 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2635 * Better Framework Extendability
2636 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2637 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2638 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2639 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2642 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2643 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2644 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2645 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2648 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2650 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2774 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2775 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2777 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2783 (but not changing the handles option)
2784 - added tests and docs for this
2787 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2788 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2803 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2804 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2805 prototypes for functions
2806 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2807 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2817 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2820 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2821 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2822 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2823 - added tests for this
2825 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2827 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2849 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2851 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2853 so this release is just to fix that.
2856 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2857 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2870 functions to facilitate introspection.
2872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2876 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2878 - added tests and docs for this
2879 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2880 so that you can actually document your
2881 attributes and inspect them through the
2883 - added tests and docs for this
2885 * Moose::Meta::Class
2886 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2887 it will first look in for the class in the
2888 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2889 then default to just loading $name.
2890 - added tests and docs for this
2892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2893 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2894 - added test for this
2897 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2898 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2899 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2900 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2902 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2903 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2906 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2908 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2909 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2910 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2913 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2914 !! for this developer release to work !!
2916 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2917 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2918 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2919 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2920 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2921 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2922 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2923 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2924 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2925 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2926 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2928 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2929 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2930 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2931 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2934 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2936 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2937 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2938 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2940 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2942 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2943 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2946 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2947 called unless they actually need to be.
2948 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2949 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2950 DEMOLISH method present.
2952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2954 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2955 type constraint, which allows for a
2956 hand optimized version of the type
2957 constraint to be used when possible.
2958 - Any internally created type constraints
2959 now provide an optimized version as well.
2961 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2963 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2964 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2965 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2968 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2969 your class namespace of these exported
2972 * Moose::Meta::Class
2973 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2974 comes up during global destruction
2976 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2980 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2984 - changed how we do type checks so that
2985 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2988 - moved accessor generation methods to
2989 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2990 conform to the API changes from
2993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2994 - changed how constraints are compiled
2995 so that we do less recursion and more
2996 iteration. This makes the type check
2998 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3001 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3002 - created this from methods formerly found in
3003 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3017 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3018 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3019 - added tests for this
3020 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3021 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3022 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3023 - removed tests for this
3025 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3027 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3028 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3029 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3032 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3033 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3034 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3036 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3037 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3038 comments for more info.
3041 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3042 asked questions and common problems
3044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3045 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3046 - added tests for this
3048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3049 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3050 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3051 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3053 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3054 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3057 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3058 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3059 is much appreciated :)
3060 - added tests for this
3062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3063 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3064 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3068 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3070 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3072 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3073 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3077 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3078 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3079 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3081 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3083 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3086 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3087 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3088 keywords because we need to localize them.
3089 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3091 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3092 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3093 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3096 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3100 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3101 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3104 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3105 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3106 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3108 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3110 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3111 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3112 bottom of your class file.
3115 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3118 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3120 - improved error message when loading modules so
3121 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3122 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3123 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3126 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3127 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3128 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3131 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3133 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3134 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3135 turn them on for you.
3136 - added tests for this

3165 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3166 - This release works in combination with
3167 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3168 release because it uses the a new
3169 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3170 complete Role implementation. It has
3171 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3172 the the previous CPAN version. This
3173 release also lacks good updated docs,
3174 the official release will have updated docs.
3177 - refactored the keyword exports
3178 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3179 accepts more than one Role at a time

3192 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3195 - more careful checking of params to new()
3198 - much work done on the role composition
3199 - many new tests for conflict detection
3200 and composition edge cases
3201 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3202 looking at the tests

3227 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3228 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3229 on a per-attribute basis
3230 - added tests for this
